Fairtrade Fortnight
This Fairtrade Fortnight we’re celebrating all the good you can do just by choosing Fairtrade – it’s got to be the tastiest way to change the world. Join us in celebrating Fairtrade and the pluckers, workers and producers that make our tea.
Our #AcTEAvism campaign Launch
On Tuesday the 11th of June we invited London to join us for a tea break at Boxpark in Shoreditch to celebrate 25 years of Fairtrade and launch our #AcTEAvism campaign. We were joined by incredible speakers from Broadcaster and activist Laura Whitmore to Mike Gidney, the CEO of Fairtrade talking all things sustainability.
Fair wages
Estates certified under the Fairtrade Hired Labour Standard must ensure that: ‘The company sets wages for workers and other conditions of employment according to legal or Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) regulations where they exist, or at regional average wages or at official minimum wages for similar occupations; whichever is the highest, with the intention of continually increasing salaries.’
Changes for women on tea estates
The role of women in tea production, primarily as pluckers, is crucial. Women make up a core part of the labour force at Welbeck, Dunsandle and United Nilgiri. Empowerment is at the heart of Fairtrade, regardless of gender. But gender inequality remains an issue across the globe, with a number of barriers facing women.
